A large number of sand shrubs have been planted in western China, especially in Inner Mongolia. Sand shrubs produce a large amount of stump residue, and wood biomass power generation enterprises that use stump residue as raw materials have emerged in Wushen Banner and other areas. In this paper, the Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model is used to optimize the raw material supply chain of forest biomass power generation enterprises. Optimizations with different objectives represent the choices of different stakeholders. The optimization results are listed as follows. (1) The self-issuance behavior of enterprises is inconsistent with the enterprise behavior required by social planners; (2) When social planners only pay attention to environmental benefits, the utilization rate of raw materials in towns located far from a power plant will be greatly reduced, which is not conducive for the reuse of stump residue; (3) When social planners consider economic, environmental, and social benefits simultaneously, the utilization rate of raw materials in each town will be significantly improved, resources will be effectively utilized, and certain economic benefits will be realized; (4) It is possible to reduce the difficulty of achieving optimization goals by promoting industrial development and encouraging technological progress.

Emdr Therapy

While eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is considered an evidence-based treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in adults, there are differences as to how various international treatment guidelines judge the strength of this evidence base. Furthermore, in areas other than adult PTSD, major guidelines differ even more as to the strength of the evidence base and when to use EMDR. In 2019, the Council of Scholars: The Future of EMDR Therapy Project was initiated. Several working groups were established, with one assigned to the focus area of research. This article is a product of that working group. Firstly the group concluded that there were five areas where there was some base that EMDR was effective, but more data were needed to increase the likelihood that it would be considered in future international treatment guidelines. These areas were PTSD in children and adolescents, early EMDR interventions, combat PTSD, unipolar depression, and chronic pain. In addition, research into cost-effectiveness of EMDR therapy was identified as one of the priorities. A hierarchical system was used for classifying and rating evidence in the focus areas. After assessing the 120 outcome studies pertaining to the focus areas, we conclude that for two of the areas (i.e., PTSD in children and adolescents and EMDR early interventions research) the strength of the evidence is rated at the highest level, whereas the other areas obtain the second highest level. Some general recommendations for improving the quality of future research on the effectiveness of EMDR therapy are formulated.

Abstract INTRODUCTION Quality of life (QOL) should be included among the important outcomes of brain tumor treatment. QOL is often reduced to a measure of treatment tolerability, resulting in a lack of understanding of how patients experience this phenomenon. There is also limited knowledge surrounding the meaning of QOL for family care partners. The research (in progress) aims to explore the meaning of lived experience of QOL during treatment for glioblastoma (GBM) for both patients and their primary care partners. It will also examine similarities and differences in QOL perceptions within patient-care partner dyads. METHODS Using a phenomenological approach, this study is recruiting patients receiving treatment for GBM and their care partners. Participants complete a timeline depicting significant events impacting QOL from the time of the patient’s diagnosis to the present. They then complete an individual, unstructured interview describing their experience of QOL. Interviews are recorded and transcribed. The research team reviews and completes a thematic analysis on transcripts. RESULTS Numerous themes are emerging from the data. One theme among patients is: Feeling Uncertain About the Future. Patients discussed feeling uncertain about their prognosis during their course of treatment. They talked about the need to adjust to multiple changes in their lives over time. This uncertainty extended to concern for their QOL in the future. One theme among care partners is: Challenges in Relationship with Spouse. Care partners reported relationship conflict stemming from both personality changes in their spouse and role changes resulting in increased responsibilities for the care partner. CONCLUSION This study is providing insight into the meaning and experience of QOL for patients undergoing treatment for GBM, along with meaning and experience of QOL for their care partners. The findings will have implications for clinical practice and generate insights for future research.

The quality of herbs used to make herbal medicinal products largely influences the safety and effectiveness of these herbal treatments. It is therefore important to investigate the extent to which manufacturers are ensuring the quality supply of herbal medicine used in production of herbal medicine. This study examines how small and medium scale manufacturers assure the quality and continual improvement of the raw materials (raw materials) used for production of medicinal products in a developing economy, the state of Ghana, and the methods used by the company. The study adopted exploratory research design. Using interview quide with open ended questions, data was collected from 88 respondents (small and medium scale manufacturers and their representatives). The data was analysed using NVivo 11. Findings of the study indicated that herbs were collected from the wild (forest), physical inspection of the herbs and best manufacturing practices, good relationship management or collaboration were measures used to promote quality of raw material supply. Also, proper documentation or recording of processes and quality measures do not have much attention or acceptance among Traditional Medicine Practitioners (TMPs).

Water is the basic ingredient necessary for the maintenance of life of people and makes 60 - 70% of body weight. It is the most important ingredient in the tissue of plants and animals. In addition, water is one of the most important raw materials in industry. Due to irresponsible use of water in the past, there is great danger that humanity will have serious problems in the future, both in terms of water quantity and in terms of water quality. It is still not too late that from this point forward, all of humanity take austerity measures and water conservation as a strategic raw material in the future. Every individual and every community, both individual and joint efforts can at least mitigate this problem. Quality and hygiene of drinking water and water as raw materials in the food industry today are the parameters of quality of life, of which each local community must take more into account. The paper analyzes the situation in water abstraction from the wells that supplied Srbac drinking water, and chemical and microbiological quality of water in the aquifer, the water supply network and the reach of water consumption in the period from 2005-2009. The results obtained in this paper suggest that the appreciation of the applicable regulations in this area and conscientious work of all participants in the supply chain can affect the water today for the needs of the population can provide a satisfactory water quality, and at the same time can preserve water reserves for future generations.

World demand for paper is growing rapidly. Although Canada will continue to be the leading exporter of paper in the immediate future, there will be increasing competition from fast growing man-made forests of the tropics and subtropics. Competition from non-cellulose materials will also increase. To meet these challenges, the quality of Canadian pulp and paper products must be improved while keeping costs to a minimum.The conventional methods of pulping have been tuned up to a high pitch, and virtually any species can now be utilized. The paper maker, by manipulating his raw material and by the use of additives, can produce paper with widely different properties; but such operations add to costs, and the closer the raw material approaches to the paper maker's requirements, the lower these costs will be.Although the manner in which fibre characteristics influence paper properties has been studied for a number of years, little of this work can be directly related to Canadian species, about which we need to know a lot more.With increasing knowledge of the properties of our different species and the ability of the pulp and the and paper technologist to use each efficiently, it is suggested that the emphasis will shift to maximum economic production of wood substance in terms of weight, as opposed to production by volume of merchantable wood. This will likely bring changes not only to our concept of the 'ideal tree', but also in the management of forests and silvicultural treatment of stands. Utilization of tops and branches in certain cases must also be given serious consideration. In addition to low cost cellulose, Canada must continue to produce a proportion of top quality fibres such as those of the northern spruces.Much of the above can be applied to the sawmill industry where low costs and high quality are again the key requirements.In the future the forester will be called upon not only to plan and tend the forests; he must also take complete responsibility for delivery directly to the mill, sawmill or factory, according to a master plan, of material of a pre-determined character.

Nursery production is likened to a subsystem of the total reforestation system. The inputs to the nursery subsystem are categorized as environment, management, raw material, the production process, research and development and finally, quality control.The various input fields are considered in some detail for innovations which can lead to improvement in quality and economies in production as well as point the direction for future research effort.In order to close the loop on the system and provide the necessary feedback of information from planting projects close liaison must be maintained by co-ordinators.The ultimate criterion for measuring success of the total system is the cost per established tree. The co-ordinators must balance the quality of stock versus production cost interaction in the nurseries against this criterion in order to maintain an efficient total system.

Residual Biomass

The use of residual biomass of forest and/or agricultural origin is an increasingly common issue regarding the incorporation of materials that, until recently, were out of the typical raw material supply chains for the production of biomass pellets, mainly due to the quality constraints that some of these materials present. The need to control the quality of biomass-derived fuels led to the development of standards, such as ENplus®, to define the permitted limits for a set of parameters, such as the ash or alkali metal content. In the present study, samples of vine pruning, and ENplus®-certified pellets were collected and characterized, and the results obtained were compared with the limits presented in the standard. The values presented from vine pruning approximated the values presented by Pinus pinaster wood, the main raw material used in the production of certified pellets in Portugal, except for the values of ash, copper (Cu), and nitrogen (N) contents, with vine pruning being out of the qualifying limits for certification. However, it was found that the incorporation of up to 10% of biomass from vine pruning allowed the fulfillment of the requirements presented in the ENplus® standard, indicating a path for the implementation of circular economy processes in the wine industry.
